WHY THE DISCRIMINATION?

In response to your May 1 editorial "Civil unions," it is a fact that same-sex unions are not a recent lifestyle. This type of union has become more open, but one that has become less represented by our Constitution. I really feel that we continue to discriminate against this type of partnership; they do not have the same benefits as a heterosexual marriage. Why not?

BEYOND BELIEF

Stephen Paul Sparks' letter to the editor ("Supporting Rudolph," May 4) seems to say that Eric Rudolph is not delusional. Rather, Sparks' logic is that it's OK to kill others if they do things that he or Rudolph would find objectionable. This kind of thinking parallels Osama bin Laden and his fellow terrorists. I cannot believe a sane person would hold such a preposterous belief.
